10 places you should photograph at least once #PhotoWeek [part two]: The Great Wall of China, Christ the Redeemer, Machu Pichu

6. The Great Wall of China

Designed to quell invasion and spanning much of China’s northern border, it’s possibly the most famous wall from history. If that doesn’t deserve a single snap I don’t know what does.

7. Sydney Opera House

While you;re there you might as well get yourself a snap of the architectural masterpiece that is the Sydney Opera House. Look at it, it’s all white and amazing — why wouldn’t you want one?

8. Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro

Whether you’re a Christian or not, it’s a stunning sight to see such an amazing statue. Maybe if you angle it right you can pretend you’re taking a selfie with Jesus himself.

9. Machu Pichu, Peru

Surely the most famous city in Incan civilisation is deserving of capturing on camera, even if it does require significant effort to get there.

10. Taj Mahal, India

By far one of India’s most recognisable landmarks, The Taj Mahal is one of those places everyone should visit if they go to the country — regardless of whether or not they take a picture. What picture you take is up to you, but I imagine some people might want to recreate the famous photograph of Princess Diana. Featured image credit: Magnus Manske via Wikimedia Commons
